The Harsh Truth: Most Real Estate Buyers Will LOSE in 2025 | Michael Zuber

Real Estate investor and YouTuber Michael Zuber (One Rental at a Time) joins us to deliver an unfiltered breakdown of the U.S. housing market in 2025. From inflation shock and broken affordability to crashing Airbnb markets and commercial real estate fallout, Michael lays out who wins, who loses — and why this year is for investors only. We explore why the Fed’s next move may not matter, how distressed deals are coming, and why a 3% mortgage is a golden handcuff. If you’re trying to navigate real estate in today’s macro mess, this is a masterclass in discipline, strategy, and clarity. #realestate #inflation #housingcrisis ------------👨‍💼 Guest: Michael Zuber, Founder🏢 Host: One Rental at a Time📺  @OneRentalataTime  𝕏 @1RentalataTime📅 Recording date: April 3rd, 2025---------------------📆 Save the Date 📆DEUTSCHE GOLDMESSE May 16 & 17, 2025 in Frankfurt, Germanywww.deutschegoldmesse.com FREE Registration for Investors! ---------------------📰 Up-to-Date Commodity Prices & Commentary 📰👉 Clear Commodity Network 👈🌎 https://clearcommodity.net/ 🌎►► Follow Us! ◄◄Twitter: http://twitter.com/soarfinancialWebsite: http://www.soarfinancial.com/---------------------0:00 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:35 – Michael’s Real Estate Origin Story4:00 – Who Wins in 2025?
